Can't wait for my 99$ board. Beside from learning I'll use it for data mining and 24/7 stochastics , might be way cheaper than a quad core vps.

Same, should be an easy co-processor to use since it has existing libraries in the SDK (and opencl support). Can't wait to see what sort of streaming encryption performance i can get out of my 99$ unit.

All things considered, coming with packages like that will be very useful, even if the board's specs aren't great.

I was kinda hoping this project would succeed, but I didn't have any cash to send their way.

Side note: I find it funny that no one gives two shits about sending almost a million dollars to fund a startup company for computer hardware that could not be delivered for quite some time.

Kickstarter has some interesting policies. You must remember that until the funding goal is reached, all those numbers are just pledges. The total does not represent money in the bank. If the project does not meet the funding target, no one loses any money, since they haven't spent a penny (they've only pledged funds to the organizers).

If the project meets its funding goal, then the money is made available to the developers (less a percentage kept by Kickstarter). Should the product fail to ship, then the investors lose their funds. If the product ships, however late, the investors still get something for their trouble.
